Hi All,

I have a folder in Box which has "Upload via email" option turned on. Is there a way by which I can get the email address of the folder through an HTTP GET/POST call? 

I am asking this because I am creating PL/SQL program which will send email with file attachment to the folder's email address for file upload, hence I would like to design/develop the program in a way so that if I just give the folder name as the input parameter, it should be able to fetch the folder's email id and send email to it. 

Thanks,
Abhishek

  Hi Abishek

  You can get the 'folder_upload_email' field by specifying in the API call. https://developer.box.com/reference/resources/folder--full/#param-folder_upload_email-email see this link for all folder fields.

  You need the folderId to retrieve the folder, you cannot fetch by name only. 

  Eg. https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/113972940176?fields=id,name,folder_upload_email

  Would return this if the email upload is enabled.

  {
  "type": "folder",
  "id": "113972940176",
  "etag": "0",
  "name": "Secure Document Folder",
  "folder_upload_email": {
  "access": "open",
  "email": "Secure_.7sdoh7gyk709lvu4@u.box.com"
  }
  }
